Creative Forces, an Internet-based motion picture production company, has just released its first cinematic offering, a computer-animated short called "Paper Clips".

The film profiles the adventures of a brave little paper clip who soon discovers the importance of teamwork and sticking together in the real world. "A phenomenal amount of work went into making this piece, and there's a lot of vindication for everyone involved," said Lee McCaulla, company president and the film's director. "We couldn't be happier with the end result."

An all-new, fast-paced trailer has also been released to support the movie. An impressive behind-the-scenes documentary, detailing the company's efforts, is also available for download and has been attracting attention from around the world.

"Paper Clips" is now available for download for $3.99 from www.creativeforces.com. The low price includes 24 hours of access for repeated viewings. QuickTime 5.0.2 software is required, and a high-speed Internet connection is strongly recommended.

The film takes advantage of the all-new Sorenson 3 codec which significantly lowers movie file size, yet preserves the fidelity of the original image.

Creative Forces has also partnered with Akamai Technologies, a leader in high-speed internet, to deliver optimal results for viewers around the globe. "We think people with fast connections will be pleased -- with both the quality of content from Creative Forces, and with the speed at which it downloads." stated Akamai's Tony Tramontana. "We're very excited about this relationship."

"Paper Clips" arrives on the Web at an uncanny time. It was 100 years ago that the very first patent was filed on the tiny device we now call the paper clip. "It was a total fluke," McCaulla said. "I can't think of a better way to celebrate its centennial than by watching our little movie."

Until now, the online film industry has essentially been driven by advertising. "But," McCaulla added, "our goal was to create something of extraordinary quality that people would enjoy paying for. That's what really sets us apart, I think."

Several new properties are currently in development at the company. An official announcement regarding the next project is expected before the end of 2001. "The ability to produce original movie content and deliver it to the masses via the Internet has never been more feasible," said McCaulla. "Creative Forces remains dedicated to exploring this new and exciting avenue as we grow."
